The big high-light of the day was the return of Yellow-breasted Chats in the 
Main (aka Woodcock Meadow). A surprising number of Prairie Warblers (5) were 
also present as were Blue Grosbeaks.  Three Pine Warblers continue on territory 
at the Maintenance Building.  The entire list is below. I am leaving for
